Chronic headache, abdominal pain or musculoskeletal pain

Abstract

Headache

In chronic headaches, targeted drug therapy of migraine attacks and the multimodal treatment of tension headaches are important.

Abdominal pain

Functional gastrointestinal disorders are the predominant cause of chronic abdominal pain and a multimodal treatment approach should be performed early.

Musculoskeletal pain

In addition to primary chronic musculoskeletal pain also secondary pain disorders can be observed in a large number of congenital and acquired diseases. Even in these cases, multimodal pain treatment has proven to be the method of choice.

Multimodal pain treatment

The principles and treatment modules of this approach are presented systematically. Treatment has the following objectives: increase in exercise capacity, reduction of pain perception, improving control and empowerment experiences, reestablishing normal structures in daily life and social contacts.
